KneadAce Cotton Rope Proofing Baskets - Set of two Ovals Bannetones

Easy to store, completely washable and perfect for 500g loaves.

I used this set to proof two sourdough loaves, and it exceeded every expectation. There are two rope baskets, linen liners and linen covers all included in the package. The linen cover accessory is a very nice touch and looks good too! I was initially unsure about the stability of the woven cotton‑rope baskets — I worried they might be too flexible to support a shaped dough during a long cold proof. Once I used them, that concern disappeared. The baskets are surprisingly firm, stable, sturdy and well‑made, exactly what you want when transferring a shaped loaf into the fridge. The 100% linen liners were wonderful to work with. After a light flouring, the dough released cleanly with no sticking at all. I also appreciated the included cotton basket covers accessories. To test them, I proofed one loaf in a plastic bag and the other using the provided cover. The dough rose right up to the cover, but it didn’t hinder the rise or disturb the surface. The covered loaf didn’t dry out either — just be sure to flour the cover as well. Both loaves rose beautifully and baked perfectly. This set is thoughtfully designed, easy to use, and genuinely reliable for cold‑proofing sourdough. The baskets are pretty and very sturdy, more than I could have imagined. They fold up for storage or are nice enough to display in the kitchen.

These are a high quality item that make the bread making process more enjoyable. I use these to proof sourdough oval loaves in the fridge for 24 hours prior to baking. I appreciate the cotton rope construction that looks nice and allows moisture to leave the loaf during proofing. These also come with nice cloth covers to prevent the loaf from drying out. One thing to note is these are recommended for a loaf size that is max 800 g, which is fine for me, but you may want to keep looking if you want to make larger loaves. Definetly recommended.

I really like these. They hold my bread dough - a 2000g recipe - perfectly, 1000g in each banneton. I was a little alarmed when I first saw them, thinking they were far too small. But they are just exactly right. The liners that come with the bannetons are washable, and I think the baskets are also, although I have't needed to do that yet. I hang the liners to dry after washing in the washer with my other kitchen linens. That makes them super practical in my kitchen, as they are so easy to keep clean and fresh for the next use. There are also fabric covers included, but I haven't used those yet. I proof the dough in the refrigerator overnight in these, and get great results. I think the fabric baskets manage the dough's moisture, but even after months of use the baskets are still odor free and going strong. Very nicely made.
